The 2013 NBA Shooting Stars champion is Team Bosh of the Eastern Conference, defeating Team Westbrook of the Western Conference.

Team Bosh was made up of Miami Heat star Chris Bosh, Swin Cash of the WNBA’s Chicago Sky and former Atlanta Hawks great Dominique Wilkins.

The team led by Oklahoma City Thunder star Russell Westbrook also included Maya Moore of the WNBA’s Minnesota Lynx and retired NBA legendary clutch shooter Robert Horry.

In the first round, Team Bosh bested Team Lopez in what was a poor showing by both squads. Team Bosh finished with a time of 50 seconds, and that only stood because Team Lopez had a dreadful finish of one minute and seven seconds.

For the Western Conference, Team Westbrook emerged victorious after completing its round in an impressive 29.5 seconds, while Team Harden came up short with a time of 37.9 seconds.

Team Westbrook was cruising in the final round and looked certain to beat Team Bosh’s time of one minute and 24 seconds, but then came the half-court shot.

Sadly for Team Westbrook, it was unable to make the half-court shot after getting to the final spot on the floor with plenty of time left. As time continued to tick, it figured to be Horry’s moment to drain yet another clutch shot as he had done throughout his career.

However, that wasn’t the case, and instead, nobody on Team Westbrook was able to convert the final shot. That led to an improbable victory for Team Bosh.

None of the teams in the final looked all that impressive, but Team Bosh was just slightly better. This was no doubt an ugly win for Bosh’s squad, and while it won’t be getting any style points for its victory, a win’s a win.

Swin Cash also is featured in New Documentary Movie Miss Independent Woman Movie http://www.missindependent-movie.com

Grammy Award Winning Artist Mýa, is celebrating 14 years in the entertainment industry as an internationally known, respected singer, songwriter, producer, dancer/choreographer, actress, designer, model, activist and philanthropist. In Fall 2009 Mýa entertained the world and impressed millions as the highest scoring contestant on ABC’s Season 9 of Dancing With The Stars. Mýa also created her own label, Planet 9, and released the first of a series of independent music compilations, Sugar & Spice LP and “The Perfect Edition” double disc in Japan in 2008 & 2009.

In 2000, Mýa released her second album, Fear of Flying. Its first single, “The Best of Me”, featured rapper Jadakiss and Jay-Z appeared on the single‟s hit remix ”Best of Me-part 2.” Following the massive success of the second single “Case of the Ex”, Fear of Flying was re-released featuring the brand new smash, and third single, “Free.” Just as Fear of Flying went platinum, Mýa recorded “Where the Dream Takes You” the theme song for Walt Disney’s Atlantis: The Lost Empire.

In May 2001, Mýa collaborated with Christina Aguilera, Lil’ Kim, P!nk and Missy Elliot on a remake of LaBelle’s “Lady Marmalade”, which is featured in Baz Luhrman’s Moulin Rouge. The single sold 5.5 million copies and became the most successful airplay-only single in history. Mýa and company’s version of “Lady Marmalade” won the Grammy Award for Best Pop Collaboration and went on to collect numerous awards including 2 MTV Video Music Awards for Video of the Year and Best Video from a Film.

In 2003, Mýa released her third studio album, the critically acclaimed, Moodring, featuring the hit singles including “My Love Is Like Wo” and “Fallen” and the club circuit favorite, “Whatever Bitch.” Moodring also featured “Everything or Nothing”, the theme song for the 2004 video game James Bond 007: Everything or Nothing in which Mýa was featured as a Bond Girl, and “Real Compared to What” the 2003 Coca-Cola theme song, for whom Mýa was a spokesperson at the time.

Mýa is also an advocate of breast cancer as her mother is a 13 year survivor. In 2006 & 2007 she collaborated with the Lifetime Television Network in the Stop Breast Cancer for Life campaign, recording “My Bra” a song sold on iTunes donating 100% of proceeds to breast cancer research. In 2007, Mýa was also the internationally featured artist in Heatherette’s Fashion Show for LifeBall in Vienna, Austria to fight Global AIDS, hosted a fundraiser for Skool’d to aid homeless LGBT youth, and advocated equality by opening the Out 100 Awards.

After the accidental release of her 4th anticipated album “Liberation” in Japan by her label Motown/Universal at the time, Mya chose to part ways with her label Motown/Universal versus spending a year in court suing them over the negligence. The mishap was a blessing in disguise as the Japanese market positively responded and requested more. In 2007, Mya empowered herself, created her own label Planet 9, teamed up with a Japanese company Manhattan Records and released the successful “Sugar & Spice” album exclusively in Japan in December 2008, followed by “The Perfect Edition” double disc set in August 2009.

In 2010, Mya also released her 1st mixtape “Beauty & the Streets” Vol 1 for fans independently via Planet 9/Young Empire with distribution through Fontana/Universal While recovering from ankle surgery due to her injury acquired on Dancing With the Stars, in 2010 Mya went to work once again in the studio with various producers executive producing yet another album.

In January 2011, Mya became Good Will Ambassador for Africare (africare.org) an organization of over 40 years assisting the welfare of over 36 African countries. In February 2011, she once again appeared on the big screen alongside Zoe Zaldana, Brian White, Wood Harris & others in “The Heart Specialist.” In April 2011, Mya released her 7th studio album “K.I.S.S.” (Keep It Sexy & Simple) in Japan reaching No. 1 on the charts once again.

Mýa has spent the past decade developing her artistry, entertaining the world, and advocating causes close to her heart. In these 10 plus years Mýa has grown into a woman with a newfound strength that stems from changes, professionally and personally: Mýa speaks openly from her heart, soul and mind, “I feel that I’ve found my true artistry.” Mýa said. In the past couple years Mýa reprioritized her vision and awakened a new sense of passion within herself. She invested in building her own studio, studied sound engineering, began engineering, writing, executive producing, funding & independently releasing her projects. “I just knew that I had to get back to my roots and rediscover what excited me in the first place. I have all this creative energy and all these ideas, so I thought, let me, build a studio, vibe, put my own crew together, get creative, help create opportunities for others and do what I love to do.” And still Mýa is a humbled woman liberated, focused and driven to continue to inspire, innovate and keep audiences on their feet, to her own signature inspired beat, for the years to come.

Tanisha gave us her thoughts on the Independent Woman . She had some great words to say .

Tanisha Lovely Wright (born November 20, 1983 in Brooklyn, New York) is an American women’s basketball player, formerly playing at Penn State University. She ranks 4th in school history in points scored with 1,995 points in 134 career games. She was drafted in the 2005 WNBA Draft by the Seattle Storm.

Camille Little Wbna Seattle Storms 2010 Champ had some great thoughts about Independent Women.

In less than a full season in Seatle, Camille Little established herself as one of the Storm’s all-time biggest steals. Acquired in late June 2008 from the Atlanta Dream for a 2009 second-round pick, Little stepped into the starting lineup when Lauren Jackson missed the final 13 games of the season. As a starter for the Storm, Little averaged 12.2 points and 5.6 rebounds on 52.9 percent shooting, helping the Storm survive without Jackson. Since Jackson’s return to the lineup, Little has remained a fixture alongside her. A star at North Carolina, where she was a four-time All-ACC pick and the conference’s “Rookie of the Year,” Little first played under Storm Head Coach Brian Agler when he was an assistant in San Antonio during her rookie season, which resulted in Little being named to the WNBA’s All-Rookie Team.
